so far they haven't offered a single idea short of vouchering medicare that we all know is off the table. even mitt romney denied that one as the campaign went on. if republicans insist on spending cuts the on news is on them to come forward with some ideas t. president's budget continues over $300 billion in health savings. if they don't like that they should make a counter offer. we know that won't happen. we are waiting for some specific somewhere from our republican colleagues to show that they are serious on negotiations. >> three weeks ago the american people went to the polling places and they sent a message. democrats from president obama to our senate candidates on down built their campaigns around the idea that budgets have to work for our middle class and that the wealthy need to pay their fair share. republicans were clear too their to protect the wealthny and it was rejected. the american people voted for the candidates who committed to fighting for the middle class and in exit polls they agree that the wealthy have to participate and pay their fair share. here we are at the

we cannot break the promise of medicare and social security. that's wrong. we cannot break that promise. i was proud to help craft affordable care act. we did major steps to slow the growth of health care spending, and strengthen both medicare and medicaid. but there's still more to do. this this morning's panel focus on reforming health care spending. this is critical. but we need to focus on facts. if you turn on any television during the campaign season, you likely saw fix it, attack after attack ad. claiming billions of cuts to medicare, including putting millions of america's seniors at risk. nothing could be further from the truth. there's zero cuts to medicare beneficiaries in the affordable care act, zero. these ads are the exact types of ms. living political attacks. both parties are certainly guilty. i'll be the first to admit that no one will be able to come together on these tough decisions if and when we do, if used as red-hot issues to brand each other. there will be no winners and both sides continue these kinds of fights. you rise and fall as

according to medicare trustees, for instance, medicare paid $35 billion more to beneficiaries this year than it took in last year in payroll taxes. and its trust funds will be depleted 12 years from now if we don't act to save medicare in a responsible way. the other issue that is not being talked about very much at all is social security. in 2010 and 2011, social security expenditures, the benefits paid to retirees and the disabled, exceeded payroll tax revenue for the first time since 1983. so as a practical matter, we know that the federal government is borrowing to pay the social security needs of today. last year, 2011, the social security trustees reported that with benefits pay continuing to he can seed payroll -- exceed payroll, that the trust funds would be depleted in 2036, after which the program would have a net unfunded obstacles through the end of -- unfunded obligation through the end of the evaluation window and that net unfunded obligation would be $6.5 trillion. after reading the trustees' report last year, i drafted the defend and save social security act to preserve

medicare, medicaid, the chief drivers of our president -- deficit. we made a lot of progress, but there is still spending we have to cut. the big bottleneck is republicans in congress on revenue and how much they're willing to come from. democrats will also have to step up and do some tough things. the notion that somehow these deficits and our debt are not a threat to our national security and economic future is something i cannot -- disagree with more strongly, as does the president. there are commentators on the left that suggest that -- we should not deal with it at all. we have to deal with it. think about the damage -- let's say we could reach an agreement. i happen to believe, i am not an economist by training, but we have been around the south to understand -- that would be a great driver for our economy. we are over performing the rest of the world right now. if we can actually -- for the business community and the american people say we have our fiscal house in order for a 20 period and will still be able to invest in education and technolo
